12 Heart-Healthy Breakfast Ideas

 




 

11. Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is a high-protein, healthy food. Aside from being a heart-healthy option, cottage cheese is also versatile and can be a great breakfast choice if you are looking to mix things up. Create a breakfast bowl of cottage cheese topped with pear, berries, apple and cinnamon, sliced banana, nuts and seeds, or even savory options like avocado and boiled egg.

12. English muffin breakfast sandwich

Who doesn’t love a breakfast sandwich? Although traditional breakfast sandwiches can be made out of unhealthy ingredients (especially those on fast food menus), it’s totally possible to create your own heart-healthy version at home. Take a toasted whole-grain English muffin and fill it with egg, sliced cheese, sliced tomato, and even healthy greens like arugula for bonus points.
